The Lemniscate Tableau

The lemniscate tableau of the 22 trump cards (the Major Arcana) seems to be more for contemplation than for divination.

In this tableau, complementary relationships appear when the cards are sorted and laid in a “figure 8” pattern (or a large circle with a twist). Compare pairs of cards that lie across from each other — for example, The Fool and Judgment, The High Priestess and The Moon, The Empress and The Star, The Emperor and The Tower, The Hierophant and The Devil, The Lovers and Temperance, Justice and The Hanged Man, and The Wheel of Fortune and The World.
